Team Members: Alex Warman, Matteo Kruijssen, and Amanda Roberts Natland Note: (10/18/11) Hey guys - I posted up the sections below. Go ahead and assign the sections to different people in teh group and get cracking! Sections I-III are limited to a total of 1500 words. III. TEAM ORGANIZATION Because experimental design, development, abnd operation is a team effort at NASA, this competition is designed to involve teamwork. (Below are sample titles you guys can have, but you can choose different ones)
Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h0SJE06FNY4PZwdRpeivb2MBiKvqWXnG2EjYITO4WHc/edit Team Coordinator: Head Researcher: Head of Design, Construction, and Supplies: A. Describe your plan for accomplishing the work necessary to carry out the proposed experiment, including the researching of the topic and writing of the final report.
B. Describe the variety of skills individual members bring to the team.
C. Explain how your team will share an appropriate distribution of workload and responsibilities.
BRAINSTORMING AREA! Post links to documents, videos, or pictures here based on what you find that has given you ideas about a possible experiment.
Remember to copy and paste sources used at the bottom of this webpage (Put the name of the team member answering each question in parenthesis after the question. Also, answer in a different color, that is not RED).
Sections I-III are limited to a total of 1500 words. I. SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES
(Put the name of the team member answering each question in parenthesis after the question).
A. Describe briefly and clearly the research question you hope to answer.
B. Describe how you expect your proposed experiment to be changed in microgravity.
C. Include a hypothesis that can be tested in 2.2 seconds of microgravity. (Also, list dependent and independent variables).
D. Describe the procedures that will be used to observe, measure and interpret the results.
E. Describe the purpose and potential benefits from this experiment and address practical applications of the work.
Sections I-III are limited to a total of 1500 words. II. Technical Plan (Put the name of the team member answering each question in parenthesis after the question. Also, answer in a different color, that is not RED).
A. Give a clear, detailed description of the experimental apparatus to be used and any hardware to be built. At least one figure or diagram of the experimental must be included in section V of your proposal. (Please, try to insert the figure here by using the "file" button above).
B. Describe the expected sequence of events during the operation of the experiment. Explain how it will answer your research question.
C. Explain the design features that will allow the experiment to survive impact and be usable for another drop.
D. Explain how your experiment will provide useful data which can be collected in 2.2 seconds.
E. Describe ground testing prior to reduced-gravity testing.
F. Be sure the design meets the safety and design requirements as specified in the DIME Experimental Design Requirements document (available on the homepage of this WIKI).
IV. Figures Copy/insert figures here.
IV. Resource Credits List all referenced books, periodicals, websites, and videos following APA format. NOTE: A variety of resources should be used.

- This video is pretty interesting. Newton Cradle in microgravity
- This video of magnetic poles in microgravity could be a good experiment. Spherical Magnetic Dipole
- maybe we can do something about non-newtonian fluids like cornstarch and water
